The Key Planning Elements and Data Considerations of the model continue to be: • Average Median Income • Population Growth • Median Sales Price • Housing Opportunity Index The committee discussed the real estate market, existing conditions, assumptions, data available (locally and nationally), etc. It was agreed that when the model is approved, projections should be evaluated at least on a quarterly basis. Discussions ensued regarding population growth in conjunction with indicators, affordable housing units approved and affordable housing permits pulled. The committee continued to agree that the model should be presented to the BCC in individual meetings during the summer break in order to finalize the details and presentation format. The individual meetings would be prior to the Board hearing, anticipated to be the last meeting in September. Kim Grant summarized conclusions and further actions as follows: • Changes to the model based on committee input: o Update HOI to incorporate data requested from the June meeting o Agreed that instead of AMI focus at100%model staff would use the following (where data was available): • 0-50% • 50.1-80% • 80.1 — 120% • 120%+ • Start translating the material into "board ready" format • Update/clarify professions by income • All calculations will be based on 3 persons per household and 2 bedroom units • Use population increase of 1.02% - same as used by Comprehensive Planning • Persons below 50%of AMI, for model and projection purposes would need rental, while persons between 50% and 80% AMI would be projected for homeownership There were no public speakers on the topic.
