funding. City Attorney Woodruff indicated that staff brought the ballot measure forward to request
voter approval. If approved, the team could provide clarity on the possible financing of projects.
Mayor Nagales and Councilmember Flores shared their concerns about funding sources. If supporting
a ballot measure that will benefit the community, it is crucial to identify where the funding will be
coming from and what projects would be impacted. Council requested a model of the proposed
project, including the budget.
Councilmember Addiego also expressed concern with voter questions about affordable housing and
funding and requested additional information on where staff has identified funding for affordable
housing?
City Attorney Woodruff explained that Article 34 allows the city to identify and construct a project
to present a project -specific plan that requests authority from voters to execute the project. He noted
that other agencies have asked for authority from voters and, when granted, return with a plan which
is what was presented to the Council.
Councilmember Flores thanked City Attorney Woodruff for the thorough explanation but reiterated
his desire to get additional information on funding sources. City Attorney Woodruff indicated that
the last day to place a ballot measure for the November 8, 2022, election would be August 5, 2022.
Vice Mayor Nicolas supports affordable housing but expressed concern about having the city invest
in housing given its unfamiliarity and the importance of being taxpayers informed of city investments
reiterating the need to determine future funding.
Councilmember Addiego echoed the Council's comments and noted the importance of a premier
housing project maintained adequately and funded appropriately. He requested staff provide
additional housing information for the Council.
Mayor Nagales requested that staff prepare a cost -neutral project model for the Council's and
community consideration, including a breakdown of the district's loss of property tax revenue. City
Attorney Woodruff provided an overview of possible projects and funding mechanisms. City
Manager Futrell indicated that staff would provide that information to Council in a Thursday memo.
Councilmember Coleman suggested staff research Jefferson Union High School District (JUHSD)
Serramonte Del Rey site funding and community benefits.
City Attorney Woodruff noted the Council's request to understand what a city project under Article
34 would look like in terms of funding, long-term investment, maintenance, and impact on other
taxing entities as properties owned by the city are not subject to property tax.
City Manager Futrell indicated that a potential study session could be held in June 2022 to meet the
August 5, 2022, deadline. He will work with his team to explore feasibility.
