the New Town Hall Committee in terms of trying to ascertain one or both of these
organizations to assist in defining or clarifying what sort of uses can be done with
the current Town Hall property; wanted to emphasize that the Housing Committee's
number one priority for the next few years is to try to assure The Hilarita remains
in the same status as it has now, serving low and moderate income needs; hope to
the extent that is appropriate, whatever is done with the Town site, that it will also
hopefully embrace some longer term permanent solution for Hilarita if that can be
obtained.
Terry Watt, consultant, noted the State Housing and Community Development
Department requires an adequate Housing Element be adopted by July 1, 1990;
needed to update information; ABAG's Need Assessment calls for 385 units and
that's broken down by very low, low, moderate and upper income housing; Town
Hall site is one of the few possible sites for affordable housing; required to identify
site for emergency shelters; how to outline steps to retain existing affordable housing
