TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution to Extend the Term of the Housing Element Advisory
Board.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution to extend the term of the Housing Element Advisory Board.
BACKGROUND:
On August 3, 2021, Town Council adopted a resolution (Attachment 1) to establish the Housing
Element Advisory Board (HEAB) for the 2023-2031 Housing Element update. This resolution
stated that the HEAB would sunset on February 1, 2023, unless extended by the Town Council.
On January 17, 2023, Town Council adopted a resolution (Attachment 2) to extend the term of
the HEAB to May 31, 2023, to allow them to continue their work.
DISCUSSION:
The HEAB has been working diligently, and additional time may be needed to complete the
work on the Housing Element update. The remaining work may include review of future
comments received from the California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) and revisions in response to those and any future comments. Attachment 3 contains a
draft resolution to extend the term of the HEAB until August 30, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The General Plan Update Fund has monies available to cover the additional HEAB meetings, the
overall Housing Element update, and its environmental review.
