City of Roseville - Housing & Redevelopment Authority Meeting Minutes for March 18, ...Page 2 of 3 b.Request to approve partnership with City of Roseville Community Development Department for demographic study of multiple family housing in Roseville. Chair Majerus requested a staff review. Community Development Director Dennis Welsch explained the proposal for demographic analysis and measurements for bench marking. The purpose of the study is to review the household demographic make up of multi family residents and evaluate the condition of existing multi-family units within the City. The results will be used to update the City Comprehensive Plan and assist the HRA in understanding the multi-family housing stock. The Community Development staff would complete the Phase 1 study and a private consulting firm, Excensus Demographics, would complete the Phase 2 study. Chair Majerus inquired if the City was required to do the Comprehensive Plan and was informed that they would need to do this plan. This is one method by which the HRA and the City can share the consultant services costs, for shared information, which achieves goals for both the Community Development Department and the HRA. Chair Majerus inquired if this multi-family work would be part of the entire demographic outlook for the community and was informed that it would be and that single family demographics have already been completed. Data will be updated annually through this process. Member Millasovich inquired if written surveys had been used by the City and was informed that there have not been any surveys done explicitly for multi-family demographics, but that a recycling survey had been conducted in 2002. The tasks were described in the staff memo of March 18, 2003 as: 1) The HRA should approve an HRA work plan to begin preparation of a housing and demographic data base foundation to be used in the 2003 HRA Housing Plan. This will be reviewed annually for benchmarking to measure the success of HRA programs. 2) The HRA should direct the Executive Director, with modifications or denial, to prepare a work order with Excensus Demographics for Housing Demographics and Statistics, not to exceed $4,500, to be funded from the HRA budget. Motion: Member Marks moved, seconded by Member Millasovich, to direct the Executive Director to prepare a work program and contract with Excensus, for a cost not to exceed $4,500, and to create a partnership with the City of Roseville’s Community Development Department for the demographic study of multiple family housing in Roseville as shown in 4.1 and 4.2 of the staff report dated March 18, 2003.
