General Comments on Bob Bowyer`s (BB) Matrix: Bill Dailey (BD) -- 4 categories need to be addressed first - all others are ancillary until those are dealt with: (1) Agree on Housing Policy (2) Set number targets (4) Determine which sites will be considered (11) Rank sites by priority...one site or concurrently Paul Marshall (PM) - No one sees a leadership role in anything spelled out here for LHA or any of the appointed committees /boards? BB - 1) LHA doesn't proceed until town wants it to; 2) it only develops on property it acquires for free Leo McSweeney (LM) - Many roles and responsibilities here involve several boards, so we must work together to be successful --- one goal with one focus. JS -- As work gets done, appropriate participation will become evident. JP - P8 BOS, Mgt and Staff is where primary leadership and burden lie Ellie Klauminzer (EK) - LexHAB should lead in some private developments MW - the lead changes according to the project. r � LexHAB's charge states they may fake action "when authorized by Board of Se l ectmen ". Martha Wood (MW) - Delete (16) "Supervise construction /select occupants" etc, from matrix because leadership responsibility depends on site* JP -- What is the staff role here? Now The major staff players are Manager, Assistant Manager DPW/Engineering, Planning Director, the Comptroller, and a "Housing Specialist ", PM - We don't have a Housing Specialist. JS - Does the existing staff have capability to see this through? EK w If LexHAB is told to develop -- it will need specialists to carry it out. Can we use LexHAB dollars to staff position to work with both LexHAB and Town? BB - Staff does not need to be compartmentalized depending on who the end - owner is. Staff can work for (low income, moderate income) public non- _ profit , can work for private non profit and for profit, JP; To Recap ghat we've done so fear 1) Overall leadership role must come from Board of Selectmen, Planning Board, Managment & staff Z) Day to Day management and coordination = Manager, Assistant, Planning Director, Engineers, Comptroller, DPW, Building Commissioner, and some variety of housing specialist /consultant. 3) Other Boards should be involved ..� EK - How about the Mass Housing Partnership? Do we need a Central Coordinating Committee to work on this? JS - SOS/P8 should give other boards opportunity to comment on decision making process and then tell Town Manager to implement something at X site. We also need to determine what is least number of units we can build on a site and still be economically feasible. PM - Need to get to Town Meeting to get authorization to bid on school sites at '89 meeting or get developers to bid subject to vote at a Special Town Meeting for specific site. Next Steps - produce written consensus to date to get something for people to respond to; Schedule enlarged group meeting to playout thinking thus far and get input -- meeting has to have focus in order to get response. -- research to be done by staff: A) pick site and do preliminary research on 1) mix of housing ') density 3) funding possibilities 4) buildable land .N J vS - We need to have meeting soon but with as much substance as passible. LK: We need to get large group to where we are now. We can do what we need to now. We can do this research for future meetings. PM & BB; We disagree. Don't want to go into large group meeting without two or three scenarios for Meagherville ready to present to them. Hold off 4he meeting until we are ready to tell them exactly what we want to do, and then ask for their support, JP - our two options for the large group meeting are: #1 1) present them with history of how we got to where we are 2) our best thinking of the current "consensus" 3) desire to have concurrent research done by staff fact gathering 4 3 mechanism for group response �-eac t i❑ rk) #2 1) present them with history of haw we g to where we are 23 present a site with 4 or 5 concepts about how it might be developed 33 reaction Group Consensus: We need some combination of 1 and 2 as soon as possible with as much focus as possible. Agenda Of Meeting to be: 1) report and comment of what has gone on in 2 sessions. 2) staff is already at work to see what options are 3) '89 Town Meeting will seek authorization to bid s tte 4) BOSIPB will come back at next meeting with more specifics 5) Share thoughts on roles and responsibilities with group Meeting adjourned 10:40pm.
