79 Qualitative Data Regarding the Content and Next Steps Comments regarding the list of recommendations • I Think CET needs work incorporating ideas that were shared. Largely supported but the devil is in the details. • I felt the economic report was very important and hope the Council and Mayor will really look at what a “neutral” party reported. • Short on nuance and needs to be viewed more holistically but there was a lot of positives about it and many good ideas were included. • Support for organizations that care and help for affordable housing. • Need more clarification on some. • Need more facts and data. • Comprehensive list. • 3 and 3A are very depressing. They really spell the deterioration of our close in older neighborhoods (which down the road will lead to pushing out the UGB someday for new R1 neighborhoods). The demand for market-rate single family houses is great. Comments regarding hopes/expectations for Council • Please act in the interest of the future of the city. Please ACT and do not ignore recommendations here in favor of N.A. few • Enough process. Don’t let people use “dissatisfaction with process” to be used as a roadblock by people who just don’t agree with the idea. We need action. • This is their opportunity for ACTION. Move things forward through the public process. • That they act! • DO something!!!! • The topic is incredibly complex and I’m not sure all will be successful about getting at the root causes of the issues. • Think of what is best for the whole community as well as our least economically advantaged. • Be mindful of process moving forward. • More in depth working groups. • No engagement with priorities, severity or sizability. Hard to do this in the group but Council needs this. • Economic development and equity impacts. Prioritize with actions. • Let’s do this! With many of these discussion points. What will you tell community members about this process? • This was productive and nuanced. If you weren’t present, you might not understand that. • Majority of sides were represented. • Good, open process • I appreciate the work and professionalism of city staff. • Council uses this to act, great, it will have been worth the time. • It’s important to get involved and learn about our community! • Wait and see • We need more material from knowledgeable sources. • Not very useful. Outcomes were predictable from the beginning based on the people chosen for this process and those NOT allowed to join. December 12, 2018, Work Session - Item 2
