BACKGROUND:
KMA, an expert housing consultant with over 30 years of experience, was retained by the City in February 2021 to provide housing consulting services, specifically to assist staff with developing a draft affordable housing ordinance. The original consulting services scope of work included preparing a Financial Evaluation, a policy recommendations memorandum, attendance at meetings with staff and three public hearings at Planning Commission and City Council.
