HOUSING PUBLIC FACILITY CORPORATION MEETING, AND I'LL RECOGNIZE STAFF.UH, GOOD MORNING, JAMIE MAY, THE, UH, HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OFFICER FOR THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT.
YOU HAVE TWO PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. UH, ONE.
THE FIRST IS, UH, FOR A 20 MILLION MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING REVENUE BOND, UH, FOR KAREN POINT AT CAMERON.
UH, THIS IS A 150 UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
UH, 100% OF THE PROPERTY WILL BE, UH, AFFORDABLE AT 50% OF THE MEDIAN FAMILY INCOME, AND IT IS TARGETED FOR A SENIORS.
THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING IS FOR A 45 MILLION MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING REVENUE BOND, UH, FOR A C G RBJ TWO.
UH, THIS IS THE REBECCA, THE TOWER.
UH, IT IS A 225 UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR, UH, TARGETING SENIORS.
AFFORDABLE AT 30%, 50%, AND 60% MFI.
AND YOU'RE ASKING FOR ACTION ON BOTH OF THESE ITEMS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING? UH, NO, SIR.
SO PURELY FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.
UH, WITHOUT OBJECTION, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON A H P F ITEM NUMBER ONE IS ZENOBIA JOSEPH.
THANK YOU, MAYOR, COUNSEL, AND RESPECTFULLY, MAYOR, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHEN WE WILL GET A CHANCE TO SPEAK.
SO IF YOU COULD JUST CLARIFY THAT ONLINE SO THAT THE PUBLIC KNOWS.
MY, SOMETIMES WHAT HAPPENS IS WE HAVE A LOT OF DISCUSSION FROM COUNSEL LIKE WE JUST DID, AND THERE WOULD BE NO WAY FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU A PRECISE TIME.
THAT'S WHY I CALL OUT THE ORDER THAT WE WILL GO IN.
AND IT'S ALSO WHY I'VE TAKEN THIS ITEM OUT OF ORDER SO THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SPEAK EARLIER IN THE DAY.
IF I MAY CLARIFY, MAYOR, I'M JUST MEANING LIKE PUBLIC HEARINGS, IMMINENT DOMAIN.
IF YOU WOULD JUST, UH, I KNOW AT WHEN YOU FIRST STARTED, YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU MIGHT CONSIDER ALLOWING THE SPEAKERS TO SPEAK ON EACH ITEM.
SO WHATEVER YOU DECIDED, IF YOU COULD JUST PUT THAT ONLINE SO THAT THE SPEAKERS KNOW, WHICH IS WHY I'M NOT REMOTE, BECAUSE I'M REALLY NOT SURE WHEN TO SPEAK AND ALL OF THAT.
AND WELL, YOU'VE GOT THE FLOOR NOW.
COUNCIL, PSM ZENOBIA, JOSEPH, UH, MAYOR, JUST LET ME PREFACE.
UH, 1 0 6 0 6, UH, SETTLER'S TRAIL IS UH, UH, ACTUALLY, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER HARPER MADISON'S, UH, ADDRESS IN DISTRICT SIX.
AND SO SHE MENTIONED THAT HER CONSTITUENTS DON'T CALL HER.
AND SO SOME OF THE TIMES, UH, IT'S BECAUSE WE DON'T FEEL THAT SHE'S REPRESENTING US AS IT RELATES SPECIFICALLY TO 72 0 5.
DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT FOR ME? I'VE BEEN WITH THAT HOW EIGHT YEARS? UM, WE ONLY KNOW, UH, WHAT'S ONLINE.
IF YOU WANNA ADDRESS THAT AFTER I'M FINISHED SPEAKING, THEN YOU CERTAINLY MAY.
RESPECTFULLY, MAYOR, AS IT RELATES TO 72 0 5 KAREN POINT, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THE STAFF PROVIDED YOU WITH A MAP OVERLAY.
IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS JUST CONCENTRATIONS OF POVERTY.
MOVING OVER TO THE CAMERON AREA, AND I WILL JUST CALL TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT CORONADO HILLS, WHEN CAPITOL METRO ELIMINATED THE SERVICE JUNE 3RD, 2018, THE SERVICE WAS ELIMINATED THERE AS WELL.
I WANT YOU TO RECOGNIZE THAT YOU HAVE 526 UNITS WITHIN ABOUT TWO MILES, 50% AREA MEDIAN INCOME OVER AT THE OLD, UM, HOME DEPOT AS WELL.
AND SO AFRICAN AMERICANS WOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE HERE BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT $38,000.
BUT WHEN YOU'RE WEST OF I 35, IT'S 80% AREA MEDIAN INCOME.
UH, AND SO I JUST WANT YOU TO RECOGNIZE THAT WHEN I SAY YOU'RE RE CODIFYING THE 1928 PLAN IS BECAUSE OF THESE, UH, AREA MEDIAN INCOMES.
UH, SPECIFICALLY I WANT YOU TO RECOGNIZE AS WELL AS IT RELATES TO THE CAMERON ROAD AREA.
THAT'S A HIGH INJURY, UH, AREA AND IT'S SPECIFIED BY THE AUSTIN TRANSIT, UH, TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT.
AND SO, UH, I WANT YOU TO RECOGNIZE AS WELL THAT THERE'S A BAD REQUEST WHEN YOU TRY TO OPEN UP THE DOCUMENT.
SO THE PUBLIC WAS NOT ABLE TO ACTUALLY SEE WHAT THIS ALL ENTAILS.
AND SO I WOULD JUST ASK MANDY DE MAYO, UH, TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE, UH, HONEST WITH THE PUBLIC.
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THAT'S HAPPENED WHERE THERE'S NOTHING THAT OPENS UP, UH, WHEN WE CLICK ON THE LINK.
AND, UH, SPECIFICALLY I JUST WANT YOU TO RECOGNIZE THAT AREA.
UH, IT APPEARS TO BE CONCENTRATIONS OF POVERTY AND IT WOULD APPEAR TO, UM, VIOLATE THE FAIR HOUSING ACT IN 1968.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL GLADLY ANSWER THEM AT THIS TIME.
ANY MEMBERS HAVE QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I APPRECIATE, UH, YOU TALKING TO ME TODAY.
ARE, UH, THERE ARE NO OTHER SPEAKERS CORRECT? UH, WITHOUT
