VITG.
IEPT. H/RED
11-4-03 Approve and Authorize Out-of-state Travel to Washington
D.C to attend Urban Land Institute Policy Forum on
lnclusionary Housing
\\
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT Resolution No. 374 , approving out-of-state travel for the Housing and
Redevelopment Director to attend the Urban Land Institute Policy Forum on lnclusionary Housing.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Over the last year, the Urban Land Institute (ULI), supported by the Ford Foundation, has been
conducting research on inclusionary housing and how this tool is used for providing affordable
housing and sustaining mixed-income communities. The final report from this project will be
published early next year and will include thirteen case studies on local programs throughout the
United States. The City of Carlsbad has been selected as one of the case studies for this report.
ULI has invited a select group of approximately 20 program managers, researchers, and others
familiar with the “promise and practice” of inclusionary housing to attend a policy forum in
Washington, DC on November 18 and 19, 2003. The discussion from this forum will be
incorporated into the final conclusions of the comprehensive report on inclusionary housing.
With the Commission’s authorization, staff would like to accept the invitation from ULI to attend
the subject policy forum to share Carlsbad’s expertise and experience with the implementation of
a highly successful lnclusionary Housing Ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
When the FY 2003-2004 budget was prepared for the Housing and Redevelopment Department,
staff was not aware of the subject policy forum. We received the invitation after the budget was
adopted. Therefore, Commission approval and authorization is required at this time. The total cost
to attend the policy forum is estimated at $1800. Funds are available with the Housing and
Redevelopment Department’s budget to cover all estimated costs.
EXHIBITS:
1. Resolution No. 374 authorizing out-of-state travel for the Housing and
Redevelopment Director to attend a two day lnclusionary Housing Policy Forum in
Washington, DC on November 18 and 19,2003.
