2. General Discussion
Subcommittee members reported on their particular assignments from the April subcommittee
meeting.There was much discussion regarding the information reviewed.
Ms. McKuen provided demographic information and housing trends/forecasts of the
community. Her source was University of Florida, Shimberg Center, Florida Housing Data
Clearinghouse.
The housing market was discussed along with the recent upstart of the construction industry to
construct new housing.A report by Mr. Murphy regarding existing rental complexes indicated
that rents are ranging from $1,000 to $3,800 each month and it appears that rental units are
rented very quickly.

Ms.Fortune provided copies of various news articles that identified 5-year trends and cited the
source as the American Survey from the U.S.Census.Ms.Fortune also indicated that there are a
number of large land parcels sales that have occurred recently that is a good indication that
new home starts will occur soon.
The discussion then turned to'where do we go from here'.There was a general consensus that
we currently have a 4 to 6 month supply of housing inventory that is also the industry standard.
There was continued general discussion to identify the provisions currently in place to provide
incentives to provide housing.There was also a discussion on how to begin to define short term
goals and long term goals, along with a discussion to determine if a needs assessment is
necessary to further identify the problems.
3. Next Steps
Staff was requested to come back to the June 3, 2013 meeting with an updated Housing
Opportunity Index chart indicating the most current figures of impact. In addition, provide
additional information that would supplement or enhance existing data to identify current
issues on rental housing in particular.
