value in the Willow Gardens area and staff's recommended strategies and stated his
support.
Boardmember Penna discussed with Manager Fragoso the current rents in the Willow
Garden's area. He felt new owners will be refurbishing their units and due to market
forces the area will be taking care of itself. Manager Fragoso stated there are still severe
problems at the Willow Gardens project that Code Enforcement is looking into. He
discussed the possibility of developing affordable units on San Mateo County's property
on Oak Avenue, and obtaining funding for other sites.

terminology work force housing, low income units and Section 8, which Manager Fragoso
stated she uses interchangeably. Manager Fragoso stated the City's units will be
available to people holding Section 8 vouchers.
Chair Matsumoto asked for an inventory on property the City owns as potential sites for
affordable housing projects. Council and staff discussed properties that the City owns,
which are limited. Agency Assistant Director Van Duyn stated a study session can be
scheduled to look at options that are available for consideration.
Boardmember Mullin requested the inventory be expanded to include County's property,
and other potential properties, such as the Giorgi property on Baden Avenue.
Vice Chair Fernekes requested that vacant properties be included in the inventory, such
as properties owned by the water district, or properties that have been considered
untouchable.
