MLR Update and Timeline:
The committee had a brief discussion concerning the integration of the rental units and Homesite lots. These Homesite lots are 1.0+ acre lots and should provide barrier for all dwellings. The committee debated over the desirability of each lot and agreed that each lot may appeal to different applicants and there may be no real preferred lot within the housing project.
Mr. Randol asked for a consensus on staggering the lottery? The committee thought it best to assess the demand and then decide based on that demand.
-Make available Homesite applications
-Assess demand
-Proceed to decide how many and when to hold lottery.
DCRHA has rent prices for various family levels that are set. Will there be flexibility on rent pricing structure or are we set by DCRHA numbers?
The committee discussed the timeline, considering posting and time periods between postings; could Admin provide a rough timeline of waiting periods per posting? August 15th as a lottery date was proposed as a time that could include the summer residents, creating a great PR situation.
Committee asked admin to have by next meeting:
-Timeline for postings
-Application for review
-Advertisements for review
-Postings
-DCRHA rental structure/ 2009 Income % chart
With no other new business to discuss, Mr. Goldman closed the meeting at 5:30pm.
Minutes respectfully submitted by Todd Christy, Administrative Assistant.
