Re: COG/SLORTA May 2 meeting Ir p HR®IR
The SLORTA component of the meeting was uneventful- Staff is continuing to refine
projects to bring back to the Board for final approval. One project of interest to our City
is the pursuit of a grant to study the feasibility of a joint SLORTA/SLO City Transit
Maintenance Facility. I believe we have achieved staff attention regarding the
complexities ofthe LOUR interchange design with-respect to flood control in that
quadrant of SLO;also,the need to consider flood mitigation problems in any re-design of
the Marsh Street bridge. Ken Hampian has had a meeting with Executive Director Ron
De Carli and concludes that SLO-COG/SLORTA relations can be improved by giving
more attention to face to face informal contacts at the staff leveL
New census data was distributed and I have attached two key pages for your information.
The BIG item appeared on the COG agenda, and that item was State housing allocations
for the years ahead. This issue is referred to as Regional Housing Needs Determination—
a State mandated program It is-SLOCOG's responsibility to-assist in the fair distribution
of housing needs among the cities and-the county. The Department of Housing and
Community Development says that if SLOCOG fails to do so,the HCD will assume that
responsibility.
Immediately, some forger pointing occurred between Board members-as to which cities
were and which cities were not-providing sufficient housing. The discussion moderated
when it became clear-that if-the Board was to do the allocations that Board members
would need to know the opportunities and constraints in all of the other cities as well as
the county—no little task.
The-final recommendation was two-fold: One;to approve staff moving forward with the
Regional Housing Needs Assessment process; and two, bring nominations for
membership tin-a-Housing Needs Methodology Committee for Board approval on June 6,
2001. This process shall prove vital for us to track.

education, poverty, ancestry, and labor force) won't be available until August 2002. As soon as
census data is released, SLOCOG will post local information on it's website. Local, State, and
