RECOMMENDED ACTION:
HOLD a Public Hearing and ADOPT Housing and Redevelopment Commission Resolution No.
521 APPROVING the Carlsbad Public Housing Agency Annual Plan and AUTHORIZING
submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Housing & Neighborhood Services Department administers the federally funded Section 8
Rental Assistance Program for the City of Carlsbad Public Housing Agency. Pursuant to Code
of Federal Regulations 24 Part 903, a Public Housing Authority is required to submit a 5-Year
and Annual Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The 5-Year and
Annual PHA Plan provide a basic guide to Public Housing Agency policies, rules, and
requirements concerning the Public Housing Agency's operations, programs and services. In
addition, the Plan advises HUD and members ofthe public the mission and strategies for
serving the needs of low-income and very low-income families within the Public Housing
Agency's jurisdiction. On April 13, 2010, the Housing and Redevelopment Commission
approved the 5-Year Plan for fiscal years 2010-2014 and approved the submission to HUD.
HUD's Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) has ranked the Carlsbad
Housing Agency as a High Performing Housing Agency. As a High Performing Housing
Agency, the requirement for the PHA Annual Plan is to identify PHA Plan elements that have
been revised since the last Annual Plan submission. In the PHA Plan Update segment, the
areas that have been revised and need to be addressed are: Financial Resources - funding
received; Rent Determination, specifically Payment Standards; and Fiscal Year Audit - update
for FY ending June 30, 2011.
Once the Plan is approved, the following documents must be submitted in addition to the PHA
Plan template (form HUD 50075):
• Form HUD-50077, PHA Certifications of Compliance with the PHA Plans and
Related Regulations (which includes all certifications relating to Civil Rights); and
• Resident Advisory Board (RAB) comments; and
• Challenged Elements. Include any elements of the PHA Plan that is challenged.

PUBLIC REVIEW AND HEARING:
The Draft Annual Public Housing Agency Plan is available for public review and comment prior
to adoption by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission. The public review period is for
45 days and ends on March 27, 2012. Public comments from the public review period and the
public hearing will be addressed and included in the final Public Housing Agency Plan that is

HOUSING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Housing Commission reviewed the Carlsbad Public Housing Agency Annual Plan on
February 9, 2012, and adopted Resolution No. 2012-001 recommending thatthe Housing and
Redevelopment Commission approve the Carlsbad Public Housing Agency Annual Plan for
Fiscal Year 2012 for submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The PHA Plan governs the federal funds allocated for administration of the Section 8 Rental
Assistance Program. For calendar year 2011, the City of Carlsbad received approximately
$6,235 million for rental assistance payments and operating expenses from HUD.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either a direct physical
change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment, and therefore does not require environmental review.

ITEM NOT ON AGENDA
There were no items not on the agenda.
NEW BUSINESS
Debbie Fountain, Director of Housing & Neighborhood Services, said the item on the agenda is the
Carlsbad Public Housing Agency Annual Plan. Bobbi Nunn, our Housing Program Manager, will make
the presentation to you tonight.
Ms. Nunn said tonight we will be discussing the City of Carlsbad's Annual Public Housing Agency Plan.
Pursuant to Code of Federal Regulations 24 Part 903, the Housing Authority is required to submit a Five-
Year and Annual Public Housing Agency Plan. The purpose of this plan is to provide a basic guide to the
agency's policies and rules, the agency's programs and services they provide, and how they are
operated. Most importantly, the agency's mission and strategies on how they are going to address the
needs for extremely low, very low and low income households within the community.
The Annual Plan must be adopted by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission. Then a copy of it is
submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or HUD. A copy of the Five-Year
was submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development along with a certification of
compliance back in April of 2010. As far as the Annual Plans, we just need to identify any elements
which were changed since the prior year. Also we need to address any elements of the plan which are
challenged during a public review period and the public hearing.
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES
FEBRUARY 9,2012

The public review period will actually start on Sunday, February 12*^ and it will be active through March
27, 2012, through close of business day. If there are any comments on the Plan, that would be the
opportunity for someone to submit those comments to the Housing Agency. Tentatively we have a Public
Hearing scheduled for the City Council meeting on March 27, 2012. That will be a public hearing so that
if anybody would like to come, they can also provide comments at that time. Any comments that are
provided will be addressed in the final Public Housing Agency Plan.
The only things we need to address in the Annual Plan is anything that has changed since the prior year.
So we have identified three sections that have been changed in the Agency Plan. One is the financial
resources. The financial resources from the last financial plan are actually 7 percent less than they were
for the prior year. Our payment standards, the standards we use to determine our client's share of rent,
were also reviewed on October 1, 2012. We also have an updated fiscal year audit. The single audit
report for June 30, 2011, reflected no findings, which is good.
As far as the actual changes, the financial resources for calendar year 2011 for the Rental Assistance
Program was $6,235,035.00. Again, the rent determination; for the payment standards were reviewed
and revised as of October 1, 2011. In our fiscal year audit for June 30, 2011, there were no audit
findings. ^ V;' ; *
As far as progress from fiscal year 2010 through 2012, one of the Public Housing Agency's goals is to
expand housing in the area. We did add during this last period, eleven affordable for-sale units through
the Roosevelt Gardens project. Roosevelt Gardens was a partnership with the Habit for Humanity and
those units were sold in 2010 and into 2011. In addition, we had the groundbreaking today for the
Tavarua Affordable Senior Apartments, which is expect, to be completed in early 2013. That
development will add another 50 units, that puts the total of affordable units to right around 2,200. It is
my understanding that is more units than any bther.city in San ibiego County with the exception of the
City of San Diego. That was a quote from the mayor afthe groundbreaking this morning.
Besides expanding affordabteishousing, in reg^ards to iiTlBi|^entation and approving the quality of the
housing assistance program, we had.a 97 percent^rejDjirtjng rate to HUD. We were ranked by HUD as
being a high performing 'agency for^the fourth cdrjs^tive year. We have continued to maintain and
utilize our funding within the.approved Juhding allocations. That concludes the presentation.
Commissioner Igoe asked about under the Financial Resources, the funding was down by seven percent.
Do you have any details about that? : \ :
Ms. Nunn said the year prior to that we had about 6.6 •million and the funding reductions are as a result of
federal funds being cut across the board. ;We may even see more cuts for calendar year 2012. At this
point we have not received our funds. We do know that funds have been appropriated for calendar year
2012, but the housing agencies have not actually received the numbers yet of what we can expect. At
this point for January and February and probably for March, HUD is funding us based on what they gave
us for calendar year 2011. Once they do the final calculations, they will make the adjustments for the
months forward. We received about 93 percent of what we received last year in administrative money to
operate the program; that is for salaries, maintenance and operations. We received 96 percent of the
housing assistance payments!funds that we received prior year.
Commissioner Kirk asked if that was uniform across the agencies or was it based on some other revenue
calculation.
Ms. Nunn said once they determine what the appropriations are, then they look at what the need is
across the country and they take whatever percentage is available and then everyone gets cut across the
board accordingly. Right now, as far as our administrative monies, we are actually only receiving 75
percent of what we are technically eligible for. The calculation is based on the number of units we have
leased for each month and we earn a certain dollar amount for each unit leased on the first of the month.
Because of the budget cuts and the need throughout the nation, we are currently receiving 75 percent of
what our actual administrative funding should be.

Chairperson Smith asked, with the funding being cut, how does this affect the overall process of helping
the people?
Ms. Nunn said it means our waiting list will continue to stay closed because we still have families on the
waiting list that have been waiting since 2004 to receive rental assistance. Our waiting list will remain
closed until we are able to assist those families. If HUD publishes increases to the fair market rents, we
will probably maintain the current payment standards as a cost savings measure. Our families are able to
locate affordable housing of an adequate nature within the current payment standards. This is a factor
we look at when we determine the payment standards. It could end up that we may have to assist less
people and that is the unfortunate part. In addition, we may not be able to assist any new people off of
the waiting list.
Chairperson Smith asked Ms. Nunn if she is saying that with the funding that is received each year, there
are no funds that are carried over to the next year.
Ms. Nunn answered, we have a little bit of reserve, but in accordance with the regulations, we are not
allowed to have too much reserve. For 2012 those reserves are goirig to be off set. We will be operating
on a cash basis.
Commissioner Andrews asked how the new units are allocated. Do they go to the people on the waiting
list?
Ms. Nunn said when she speaks of units,, she means funding. So when we have funding available, that is
when we actually take applicants off of ;flib,>/aiting list and4hey:go through the process'to see if they still
continue to be eligible. Once eligibility 1s^determined, they wcHild be able to get on the program for the
first time. We have actually pulled about 100 people off of the waiting list this past year. Of that, we have
probably added approximately 25 people to the progrann.
Commissioner Andrews asked Ms. Nunn tougive a brief overview of the changes to the payment
standards made in October. ^
Ms. Nunn said the payment .standards; are based on the fair market rent, which are published by the
federal government each year and effective October 1,; 2010. The Housing Agency has the ability to take
a look at those fair market rents and can establish their payment standards anywhere between 90 percent
and up to 110 percent of the fair market rent. Jhe published fair market rents are for all of San Diego
County, riotsspecifically for Carlsbad:jiSince we are a higher cost area our studios, one and two bedrooms
are a littleibit higher than the;actual fair market rent. Our three and four bedrooms are right at the fair
market reritr'Our three bedrobrtlipayment standard is $2,067, which is adequate for this area. People are
able to find ade^quate housing for;that amount. The four bedroom payment standard is $2,493. Our
studios, and one and two bedroom amounts that we have established as our payment standards, are
actually a little bit higher than 100 percent of the fair market rents. I think the two bedroom is up to 110
percent of the fair market rent. The payment standard is $1,559 for a two bedroom, $1,228 for a one
bedroom, and the studio is $1,075.
Commissioner Kirk asked how we make the determination as to how much they should be increased or
decreased. Is that based on an index?
Ms. Nunn said we look at the current market and look at what is available for the city. Also, the San
Diego Apartment Association puts out a bi-yearly survey of what the apartment rentals are for each city.
Between the HUD published fair market rent, analyzing what the rental market is in our area, and taking
into consideration the San Diego Apartment Association's data, that is how we determine whether or not
we need to make any changes to our payment standards.
Commissioner Igoe said congratulations on being a consistent high performer.
Ms. Nunn said she has a great staff and great leadership.

Commissioner Igoe said it is worth noting. Coming from the federal government, it seems it is quite an
accomplishment. Congratulations.
Chairperson Smith said the Commission certainly appreciates Ms. Nunn and her staff. It is an honor to
serve on this Housing Commission. I have learned so much and being around people who are really into
what they are doing. It makes you feel good to be a part of it.
Commissioner Igoe made a motion to adopt the Public Housing Agency Annual Plan and requests the
Housing and Redevelopment Commission to recommend approval of the Carlsbad Public Housing
Agency Annual Plan for fiscal year 2012 for submission to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
Commissioner Kirk seconded the motion.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Ms. Fountain said she wanted to share some information .since the Commission has not met in a while.
We had the groundbreaking for the Tavarua Apartments today. They had some nice things to say about
the city and our participation in helping this project move forward. It is going to be very exciting when it
finally gets built. It has reshaped the area down there. They have already removed the existing
retirement home that was on that propeity . and it is mounds of dirt right now. There is a construction
fence around it so it is easy to identify where it is at. It is going to be a high quality development. This
team that is coming in to do this has not done projects in Carlsbad before, but they have done a lot of
work up in Orange County and Lqs. Angeles area. They . ane very well known up there and specialize in
senior housing. They have a passionate team that really want to provide a high level of services. It will
be like resort living. They have a lot of activities, ancl;they are also going to have ten units of supportive
housing within the development, whid) are basically .programs that benefit the developmentally disabled.
They have some supportive housing! money through Jthe County Mental Health Services to be able to
provide specific services to some developmielitally disabled seniors. That is something new we were able
to accommodate. It is an appropriate project to have that incorporated into.
It has podium parking, so actually the parking is all within a parking structure. The units are built over
that. They have done a really nice job in getting everything designed on site and being of low impact to
others as visually so you don't see large asphalt parking lots and that type of thing. It is a fairly dense
project at 50 units. The Planning Commission and the City Council felt very comfortable that it was the
right property and the right project to have that kind of density in it. They will have a grand opening
celebration and all of the Housing Commissioners will be invited to that. You will then be able to go
through and look at units.
Ms. Fountain also wanted to share more information. She wants to keep the Commission up to date on
some various housing issues that are going on throughout the community. Some relate to affordable
housing. The Envision Carlsbad process is really an update to the city's General Plan. That has been
going on for a while now, but they had some workshops last weekend to look at some land use
alternatives. It is getting into a little bit more detail now about what types of land uses we want to see for
the future because we are moving towards build out, although our Community and Economic
Development Manager will tell you we are never at build out because you are always either rebuilding or
doing something so you never are entirely at build out. The General Plan update is an activity to try and
figure out how we want to develop in the future. As part of that whole process, there has been a turn of
events, we have a piece of property in the Bressi Ranch area that was actually zoned industrial. It was
part of the Bressi Ranch Master Plan. We have had the property owner and the developer who has
indicated an interest in converting that land from industrial land to residential land. It has created quite an
//
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES
FEBRUARY 9,2012
PAGE 5 of 9
uproar in the Bressi Ranch area because they are proposing about 450 units. There has been support
from staff for it to meet our housing element goals and that we do need higher density and additional
higher density property. A few years ago when we brought the Housing Element forward, we had a big
issue with Quarry Creek because there were additional units proposed for Quarry Creek, substantially
above what the current density. So there was a lot of concern about what that would do to the area. This
is fairly similar, although Quarry Creek was already zoned for residential. This is taking an industrial
piece of property and proposing it for redevelopment What has happened as a result of that is there has
been a petition of about 500 residents in the Rancho Carrillo/Bressi Ranch area who have submitted their
petition saying they are opposed to this project and what their reasons are and their concerns are. It is
not a formal application yet. It was a conceptual proposal that was presented, but it did become a hot
topic pretty quickly.
I handed out to the Commission a letter that we sent to the residents irt Bressi Ranch/Rancho Carrillo and
a fact sheet that is attached to it to give information to people about what was proposed, why it was
proposed, what the process will be if they move forward if the iproperty owner and the developer move
forward on it, and I felt as Housing Commissioners you rniglif get approached about this project and
about what your opinion is of it. Right now we do not have a formal application that we could submit to
you with all of the information. All we have is the concept so we are just trying to share as much
information as we have with people so we are not trying to hide any infbrmation. There are no public
hearings on it yet or anything. People are concerned that it is going to movejforward and get approved
without any public input. I think people feel the need right now to come forward and share their concerns,
which is what they did as part of the General Plan u^dajte workshops last week. VVe had this happen a
couple of years ago with what was known as the Pontebello Project in the Aviara community. We had to
prepare a fact sheet, though it did not have a formal application either. Sometimes these things happen
and they have a life of their own so we try to get information oU^as quickly as we can. The more people
that have information of what is going on, the better.. Jf you get any questions, you will be able to answer
them. ; i ;.
Another thing that is helpful Jn this, handout is the last; information item on there is the General Plan
update. There currently is an online survey where pbpple can: provide input on land use concepts,
including the site on Bl'eis^i Ranch. If you haven't dorie that yet, and you are interested in providing some
input into that process, you are inviteditd do that as Well- I would encourage you to tell your friends and
neighbors that they have the ability to.guide the future: by participating in these surveys and participating
in the workshops so you can be an ambassador for that process.
In January, ^he City Council had their annual goal setting workshops. They talked a lot about these types
of issues; Do we want to see more single family homes? Do we want to see more rentals? What kind of
products do.we really want to see? And what kind of mix of products and mix of affordability do we want
to see? They are obviously speaking on behalf of the general public because they hear from residents
what they want and don't want. Staff makes certain recommendations, but those all go through a public
input process. That is what makes them better because it represents more people in them.
If you are being approached by residents and need more information, please just let me know and we will
gather the information for you.: -We definitely don't want anybody to feel like we are not sharing
information. Sometimes we don't have the information to share because the projects haven't gone far
enough in the process to know those answers. If we do know the informafion, we will happily share that
with you.
Commissioner Andrews asked if all 450 units are afl'ordable housing?
Ms. Fountain said no, it is not a 100 percent affordable housing project. We are actually currenfiy
negofiafing with them as to what level of affordability we want to see. Obviously they have to meet the
minimum of 15 percent, but we are actually trying to get them to provide more, which is our constant goal.
For the level of density they are asking and the fact that it is converting non-residenfial land to residenfial
land, which means the units come out of our excess housing bank because we do have a growth
management plan that limits the number of residenfial units ultimately that can be built in the city. If we
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES
FEBRUARY 9,2012
PAGE 6 of 9
don't have the units in the bank to pull out, then we can't convert any non-residential land. Generally
when we are negotiating, we ask to make the units provided more affordable so instead of 75 percent of
AMI, we might want to drop to 50 or 60 percent so you lower the rents and the eligibility or we ask for
more units than the 15 percent. That is one misconcepfion that because it is apartments, it is going to be
100 percent to low income. We may even get some moderate income units out of it, but it is really going
to be a mixed income project.
Archstone, which is one of the developers that has been looking at it, has done work in the city before
and they do very nice work. We don't know if they would ulfimately be the developer on this project, but if
you had somebody like them come in, you usually know you have a really nice product and they
incorporate the affordable into it and you don't even know which units they are. There is some concern
from the residents in the area that when you build apartments or you,build affordable housing, you have
larger family sizes and they have more children which impacts the sdhools and the schools are struggling
right now financially, cutting back, larger class sizes, so it just spirals into more concerns. Not so much
they create a negative impact, it is just there is the likelihood tp^haye more children and Bressi Ranch and
Rancho Carnllo feel the schools are already overly impacted: When Bressi Ranch went in, these same
concerns came from the community.
We definitely have a bigger need than we can meet, even though we are doing really well on affordable
housing and we are one of the best producing cities.next to the City of San Diego. I read a news story we
are the third most affordable city in North County.
\Ne are posfing this informafion on our website under Housing. If you have people asking you questions,
you can always direct them to that website. There is also Other Informafion and contacts like the specific
project contact and we have identified lhe planner in Community and Economic Department that is the
Project Planner.
Another item you may be reading about in the newspaper, as of Febmary 1, 2012, due to legislafion that
was passed last year by the;State of California, all redevetopment agencies in the State of California have
been dissolved. That has been a really big deal, because redevelopment agencies have had a life that
has gone back to the early 1970's and late 196Q's. Our Village Redevelopment Plan was adopted in
1981. There are a number of them that are even older than that. The governor decided the state needs
more money because the state has financial issues. ; They see the redevelopment agencies taking the
money they i^l^they need. We. are igettihgjrid of redevelopment altogether. The unfortunate thing that
happened iV^s^tH^t iegjislation v\/ai passed at the end of June 2011. It was challenged right away on its
constitutlqnaf standing! ^Xhat went'tp ;the courts, theicourts didn't make a decision unfil December 29,
2011, so had only a mdrithto decide; what we were going to do about the agency so we were given no
addifional fihie to figure that btit; Legislafion allowed the City of Carlsbad to become the successor for
the Redevel6|3ment Agency, which means it takes over the obligafion of the Redevelopment Agency.
The Carlsbad Housing Authonty, which the Housing Commission makes recommendafions on acfions
related to that authority has become the successor agency for the housing programs, which are part of
redevelopment.
The unfortunate part is none of that comes with any money. We get the obligations, but it doesn't come
with new money. We can pay off any exisfing debt we have, so we have bond debt, we have different
projects at different levels like Tavarua, we funded that with a low and moderate income housing set
aside funds from our redevelopment agency. That was a 3.7 million dollar loan. We have not issued all
the money yet. We have only issued about 1.8 million of that for predevelopment expenses. We sfill
have money sitting there that is supposed to go into that project. The law says we can finish out that, we
can finish paying those things, but we can't get any new money or start any new projects. That has led
us to a scramble to figure out how fund certain programs. Fortunately for our city, and this is not the
same for all redevelopment agencies, but for our city our largest part of money for helping with affordable
housing is our housing trust fund, which is separate from our Redevelopment Agency. We had some
amounts in our low mod fund, but whenever we have issued a loan out of that, it has usually been a big
loan and it takes most of what we have available in that fund. There is some concern that if we sfill have
some obligafions to produce housing related to the redevelopment agency, if no money is coming in then
13
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES
FEBRUARY 9, 2012
PAGE 7 of 9
it doesn't seem right. It seems those obligations should go away if there is no funding source. There are
a lot of attorneys and consultants working through this to figure out how this will work for the future. We
have had a lot of quesfions about what that means for our department. For our department, we are
funded in a variety of different ways; redevelopment was one component of that, but we are funded in a
number of other ways. We will be shifting our focus and some of our assignments within our department
to go into different program areas and ending what we have been doing in the redevelopment area.
As most of you know, a couple of years ago there was a realignment in the city and we actually had new
dufies assigned to our department of Neighborhood Services. We have been developing programs
relating to that so we have already been moving away from redevelopment being a high priority because
the Village Redevelopment Plan expired last year. We did have the South Carisbad Redevelopment Area
Plan that was sfill in effect, but there wasn't too much yet that was going on that was being funded
through redevelopment. If it was going to happen, this is probably the best time for us because we were
not right in the middle of a bunch of projects that had to be canceled. The Department of Finance for the
state, the County of San Diego is going to take a big roll adrriinistratively in it and they don't know what
they are supposed to be doing so it has a lot of people confuS^ and uncertain. The expectafion was that
it would never happen. The Governor approved one piece of legislafion that said all redevelopment
agencies are dissolved and then he had another legislation passed that said if you make a voluntary
payment to the state, then you get to stay in existence. The court found the first one was constitutional
and the second one was not. The first one stood and it was the one that dissolved the agencies. There
was a big effort to try and change that decision- through legislafive action, but it didn't occur. It is
unfortunate as the state didn't have too many options.' • ,r .
Ms. Fountain confinued that we will need a;rneefing in March;s: As I menfioned eariier, we prepared a new
Housing Element a couple of years ago, As pf^rjiof that HousiKg Element, there were a number of new
programs that needed to be implemented arid the, planning staff has slowly been working through
implemenfing some of those programs. Some, of theHiiare increased densifies in certain areas, we had a
mixed use ordinance that was created to try to encourages residential with commercial development so
many of the older shopping centers in Carisbad could be red^iveloped and be mixed use so they could
have some residenfial Integrated Intp the. We could, look at the mall and see if there should be some
residential at the mall and make it more a lifestyle; center. There have been various programs coming
through to try to increase the opportunities to add fesfdential to our city inventory. There are a couple of
new programs that we will n4ed to bring to the Housing ;Commission to see how the Housing Commission
feels about them. . They are rnostiy' related to the homeless; homeless shelters, homeless services,
farmworker housing, :farmworker services, and^new programs related to that, and new ways of allowing
those tb be approved without having a big process-involved with them so there is more chances of
success: ^ A number of those programs are going to start coming through fairiy regulariy because we have
deadlines #e, need to meet to be able to prove to the state that we can implement what we put into our
Housing Elenient Next month Planning will probably bring a couple of those programs. It will probably
continue that way either every other month or'every month depending on how they are seeing the need to
do that As part bffthat, one of the excifing things is Catholic Charifies, we have La Posada Homeless
Men's Shelter out by the Safety Center and it was a 50 bed shelter. The city gave Catholic Charities
money through the ag Jpfiifigatioh. fund and through CDBG monies to build 50 additional beds for
farmworkers. Catholic Ch^ijifies has finally pulled all of their money together to be able to move forward
to build that development. They have approval for their permits and went to City Council and got
approval to build that. That will be 50 dormitory beds, but the farmworker shelter will be shared studio
apartments.
We don't know all the details, but Catholic Charifies just had a big anonymous donafion to their
organization to help them finish. Sister Remonda was going totally on faith that it would happen and it
worked. We gave more CDBG money to the project and it is moving forward. They plan to start grading
March/April and then moving forward with construction this summer.
This past year Villa Loma, our first affordable housing project, paid off some overdue lease payments
they had of about 1.8 million dollars so we had some addifional funding to put into some projects. Most of
it went into service type projects. Actually North County Health Services is going to be buying some
HOUSING COMMISSION MINUTES
FEBRUARY 9,2012
PAGE 8 of 9
property in Carisbad to expand their services for low income households. We had a little bit of money to
put into that for acquisition of property for affordable housing so we will be looking at opportunifies to do
that as well.
We haven't had a meefing in a while because we haven't had anything to bring to you. It is not that we
don't appreciate you, we are just trying to be respectful of everybody's fime. Even though we may not be
having meefings, I want you to know there is still a lot going on when it comes to affordable housing and
other shelter type things. There is still discussion about other potential projects that hopefully one day will
get here and ask for some monies so you get to see them and make a recommendafion.
Commissioner Andrews asked on the Bressi Ranch project, how would that come to us? Would it ever
come to us as a recommendafion? Does it bypass us?
Ms. Fountain said it probably won't, but I can't say it never would. It just depends on if the City Council
wants to have another body look at it and review it. Technically, it is a Planning Commission approval
because it is seen as a development project and a zoning issue, but somefimes in the past we have had
the City Council ask the Housing Commission to be a sounding bbard for the community to get some
feedback and then make some recommendafion pn^ these types of, programs. Especially if it is
conversion of industrial land to residential land or rental product versus condo product. It wouldn't be set
up right now as part of the process to come to the Housing Commission unless they ask for financial
assistance or some creative solution to their affordable inclusionary obligafion. With your fifie being
Housing Commission, there will be some expectafion in the community that you will have input into that
and you are more than welcome to share your input even if it doesn't officially come to the group.
Commissioner Andrews commented that he lives adjacent to thatcommunity and was in on a large email
thread from lots of the citizens. I stayed out of it It is great to halve the resources.
Ms. Fountain said I wouldn't vqluntarily put yourself in the mjddle of it, but if you get asked, it is probably
not unrealisfic that people, woiifd think since you are part of'the Housing Commission, you must have an
opinion on this. ./^ '
Commissioner Andrews said there has been a lot of publicity about the Envision San Diego. Does this
Carisbad one fie into that at all or is it separate?
Ms. Fountain said it is*a separate process. Whatvye are doing is updafing our General Plan. It is policies
and programs related to our General Plan and the;General Plan has several elements, the Housing
Element is one of them. It has the Transportation Element, the Basic Land Use Element and Parks and
Recreafion;i5o.a lot of those are being updjated through this process. The focus lately has been on the
land use policies because that is the biggest part of it. The Housing Element always gets ahead of these
updates because the Housing Element is the only one that has a set schedule to be updated every five to
seven years, depending on what cycle we are in. Our General Plan hasn't been updated for 20 years. It
is similar to what other cities are going through, but it is specific to Carisbad. I think the Community and
Economic Department has really been trying to get out there and get as much input as they can. They
have been successful on'these online surveys. They have had a number of people participate in them,
which in some cifies that is hpt.very common. We have a very tech savvy populafion in Carisbad. There
are workshops so if you don't want to spend fime on line, you can come to a workshop. It is good to have
as many people out in the community that know what is going on so they can share informafion, even if
they are not trying to change anybody's informafion. A lot of concern gets wrapped around rumors and
they don't have the facts.
We are working on how to do better through the Neighborhood Services, how to connect better with our
neighborhoods, so that when neighborhoods have these kind of concerns, they can actually have
somebody within the city they can connect to and that person is always keeping them in mind. When we
did the city survey this last fime, we saw a disconnect in the areas where the residents are newer
because they don't have the history of where to go to for informafion. They don't know what department
to call so they get it from each other. We are trying to figure out a better way to get new residents to
HOUSING COMMISSION MINnLJTES

understand where they can go to get informafion, how much informafion is on the city website. There are
also subscription services so if you wanted to be on the Planning Commission agenda subscripfion, you
just go on their email and get the agenda sent to you automafically. We have a Communicafions
Manager that manages a lot of the informafion into the community. We have a Facebook page now, we
have twitter, and we are into the social media.
Commissioner Igoe commented that the website is much better now.
Ms. Fountain said they have changed the process to where individual departments now can update their
own pages so you can get informafion on quicker. Now we are responsible for keeping informafion
updated.
Ms. Fountain invited Brian Andrews to share a litfie bit about himself since he is a new Commissioner.
Commissioner Andrews said he is a San Diego nafive, born,; raised and grew up in the University City
area. I even stayed through college and went to U.C. San Diegb with an Economics degree and then
San Diego State for a M.B.A. later. I married my wife, Jennifer, ten years ago and her folks were from
Oceanside so she grew up and went to Rancho Buena Vista. We moved from Carmel Valley about a
year and a half ago to Carisbad. She had always wanted to live there as a ;youngster. We just love it.
The community has been great so I wanted to get involved right away. I have two children, a daughter
that is 6 and a son that is 4. The 6 year old just started Kindergarteri at Poinsettia Elementary and we live
in the La Costa/Greens area. I do work in the IT department so I love all the tech stuff,
Ms. Fountain said there are stafisfics thaf say over 93% of Carisbad have computers.
Commissioner Andrews added that he is in a program called Lead San Diego. Two people in Carisbad
government are doing that right now. There is a session, one per month, where you get to go and
experience different parts of the city. We have had recent ones on ;homelessness issues and what is
going on with the health, and human services, with the military and with how it all ties in. I am definitely
getting a passion for the'affordable housing area and the need to help. It has been an eye opener.

submission to HUD.
III. DISCUSSION
The Draft PHA Annual Plan is available for public review and comment prior to a Public
Hearing and adoption by the Housing and Redevelopment Commission. The public review
period will end on March 27, 2012, and the Public Hearing is tentatively scheduled for March
27, 2012. All public comments received on the Draft PHA Plan will be addressed and included
