APPROVAL OF MINUTES

Ayes. The minutes from the March 23, 2011 meeting were approved as presented.
PUBLIC FORUM
No one spoke
At the last Housing Commission meeting Pons reported that she would be leaving town and will be resigning from the
Commission. Her plans have since changed and she is not leaving town at this time and has decided to remain on the
Commission. She did not submit a letter of resignation.
The Commissioners discussed the idea of reducing the required amount of members on the Commission from nine to
seven. Morris said the Planning Commission is also discussing the idea of reducing their members to seven from nine.
Barasa/Scott m/s that we ask City Council to reduce the number of voting members from nine to seven. Morris will move
the motion forward to the Council and bring back the decision to next month’s meeting.
ASHLAND COMMUNITY LAND T-UPDATE ON ACTIVITIES
Krista Bolf, Board member of ACLT spoke. Bolf explained that the Land Trust was originally formed almost fifteen years
ago as a collaboration between the Housing Commission, the City of Ashland and ACCESS, Inc. with a mission to provide
affordable housing in the City of Ashland. The concept of the Land Trust was that the land remains in a trust so that upon
resale the entity; (ACLT) would keep the land affordable by having the right of first refusal and basically the controller of
the land. ACLT does this on behalf of the City of Ashland as almost all of the funding has been provided through CDBG
funds.
ACLT has been able to do the projects using volunteer Board members rather than paid staff. It is becoming more and
more difficult for the volunteers to maintain the work that needs to be done as well as doing their real jobs. Krista
presented the idea to the Commission of doing a merger or changing their status. ACLT is considering merging with
another non-profit housing organization, most likely ACCESS or possibly Groundwork’s. Krista said they welcome ideas
and suggestion from the Commissioners.
Steve Ennis, Board member of ACLT gave an overview of their properties. Currently ACLT has sixteen different units with
two more under construction for a total of thirty-eight occupants, six land leases and ten rentals. The rentals vary in rent
from $350 to $620. All tenants or lease holders fall within the fifty to sixty percent AMI range. ACCESS manages most of
1
the ACLT properties at this time.
Mr. Ennis acknowledged that the Bridge Street property (410 & 412 Bridge) is coming along quite nicely and is scheduled
to occupy by June of this year. Currently the project was designed for rentals but in the long term might be for sale.
SOUTHERN OREGON HOUSING RESOURCE CENTER-OVERVIEW
Karen Cooper, Housing Resource Specialist with ACCESS Inc and Kari Davis from Rogue Federal Credit Union KDRV
and the Home Builders Association were present to discuss their programs and their resources for Foreclosure
Prevention. ACCESS has been the Community Action Agency for Southern Oregon since 1976 and the HUD certified
Housing Counseling Agency since 1991. They are the resource for Foreclosure Prevention.
ACCESS has served thirty-five home owners last year and expects to exceed those numbers this year. Examples of
assistance are; Loan modifications, special forbearance, repayment agreements, short sales, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure
and foreclosure timelines. ACCESS has affordable rentals available for those who might need another place to live.
ACCESS served six hundred and twenty-one home owners in their Housing Resource Center. They are seeing an
increase in Ashland residence seeking their help.
In 2009 RVCU partnered with KDRV and Jackson County Home Builders Association to form a program called Building
Hope. Since the program began they have had over 3200 people attend their classes. Three classes are offered.
1. Crisis Budgeting
2. Modification process, updates regarding new laws and resources
3. Attorney, John Hanson, discusses the foreclosure process, home owner rights, what to watch out for, how
to avoid scams, options, short sales, bankruptcy. It becomes like a town Hall meeting with questions for
free legal advice.
The Commissioners would like to be able to offer these classes locally for Ashland residents. What would be needed is a
venue in order to have them.
COMMUNITY AND SHELTER ASSISTANCE CORPORATION MEETING-OVERVIEW
Commissioner Barasa gave a short update regarding her past presentation on Manufactured Housing and Manufactured
Home Parks. Barasa’s vision is that individual people could use manufactured housing for cheaper housing by putting the
homes on their own lots or build a land trust model where an agency would own the land and lease the land at a reduced
amount.
In her exploration of what was available Barasa found two options ROC USA, (Residential Owned Communities) and
CASA (Community and Shelter Assistance Organization). Barasa met with the executive director of CASA,Peter Hainley.
Hainley directed her to two promotional videos. Barasa showed one of the videos to the Commissioners explaining their
program.
Barasa had three suggested goals for the Commissioners
1. Include language in the Comprehensive Plan stating that preservation of manufactured housing is a priority.
2. Find out how the City can facilitate conversion of existing parks to ROC when possible
3. Review and possibly change LUO for manufactured housing.
Reid acknowledged that at the regular planning staff meeting inconsistencies found throughout the land use code and
specifically the Manufactured Home sections were discussed. Reid will find out when those updates will be completed.
ACTION PLAN REVIEW AND APPROVAL
The City of Ashland is an entitlement community under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD)
CDBG Program. Reid reported that for the 2011 program year the City has received notification from HUD that it
anticipates a funding reduction to the CDBG program of approximately 16.5%. The Housing Commission is charged to
hold this public hearing to take comments regarding the use of CDBG funds and to make a recommendation regarding the
2011 Action Plan for the use of CDBG funds in order to fulfill the HUD requirements for public participation and review.
No public input was given.
2
Dills/Scott m/s to approve the motion suggested by staff.“To approve the 2011 CDBG Action Plan with grant awards as
presented with the understanding that final awards may be modified to reflect an anticipated 16.5% reduction in 2011-
2012 CDBG program funding as presented in the memo dated 4/26/2011 or in accordance with the final funding amount
from HUD.” Voice Vote:All Ayes. Motion passed.
HOUSING COMMISSION GOAL REVIEW AND DISCUSSION
1. Evaluate Housing/Demographic mix to better promote needed housing types that match the demographics of the
Ashland community. Pons will work with Reid on an Ad-Hoc committee to address this goal.
Reid said that the rental registry and ordinance has gone forward as part of the business license registry.
2. Preservation of vulnerable properties. Last year the Commissioners took a tour of the properties. Reid will
update the list of vulnerable properties and bring it back to next month’s meeting.
3. Clay Street – remaining acre developed as workforce housing. The City Planning Department will be coming
presenting option to the Council. Reid will send out an email to the Housing Commissioners with an update of
what the options are. Ayars is interested in following through with this goal.
4. Foreclosure Prevention – Put together an informational brochure of resources for homeowners facing foreclosure.
Provide education and outreach to homeowners facing foreclosure to insure that they are able to maintain stable
housing options. It was suggested to host a presentation by Karen Cooper and Kari Davis the two ladies in
Ashland to share with the public the information that they provided for the Commissioners. Perhaps at the
Library. Reid will find out when they will be available. Maybe two separate times to meet everyone’s schedule.
5. Identify a permanent funding source for the Housing Trust Fund. Dills and Billin are working on this goal. They
will have an update at next month’s meeting. The Commissioners have agreed to have a Request For Proposal
in the CDBG cycle next year. Funds would be awarded in the Spring.
REPORTS AND UPDATES
Liaison Reports
Council – Morris reported that at last month’s Council meeting the Councilors discussed the property at Bud’s
Dairy off of Dollarhide. The Councilors concern was that the property can only be used for affordable housing so
why was it so expensive? Wondered if the price had been negotiated at all.
Parks– No report
School Board – No report
Planning – No report
Transportation – Ayars attended the Transportation commission meeting though nothing on their agenda was
related to housing. Their main topic was about the upcoming North Main Road Diet.
SOU- No report
Staff – No report

Housing Commission Memo
Title:Clay Street Property Options
Date: June 22, 2011
Submitted By: Linda Reid, Housing Program Specialist
Question
Would the Housing Commission like to forward one of the recommendations proposed by staff or
separate option proposed by the commission to the City Council regarding the options for the remaining
Clay street property.
Background
At their goal setting retreat in 2009 the City Council identified a Social Equity goal regarding the
remaining property located at 360 Clay Street. The Council Goal was to decide whether to develop or
sell the remaining land.
In 2008 the City partnered with the Housing Authority of Jackson County (HAJC) to purchase a 10 acre
property located on Clay Street for the joint purposes of creating affordable housing, and increasing
Parks property. As part of the requested purchase price the City traded three lots on Strawberry Lane
and the Lithia Way Parking Lot. The Strawberry Lane properties had previously been designated by the
City Council to be sold or traded to utilize the proceeds to support City affordable housing goals.
The Housing Authority developed a 60 unit affordable housing complex on a 4 acre parcel. At the time
of acquisition the Council also voted to allow the Parks Department up to two years to obtain the
funding necessary to purchase a portion of Clay Street intended to be utilized as parkland.
In February of 2011 approximately 3.18 acres of land was acquired by the Parks Department. The
acquisition price for the property includes compensation for approximately .57 acres of land area
originally acquired by the City and dedicated as Public Right of Way which was necessary to provide
access to the proposed Park property. The combined 3.75 acres in land area is being purchased at the
original purchase price value of $360,000 per acre for a total of $1,350,000.
Upon final partition of the original City-owned property, the land ownership would be as follows:
Parks Department = 3.18 acres
City = 0.92 acres
Wetland (City) = 1.0 acres
Housing Authority of Jackson County (owned) = 3.46 acres
Engle Street Right of Way (dedicated) = 0.64 acres
Villard Street Right of Way (dedicated) =0.50 acres
A total of 1.92 acres of property will remain in City ownership. A one acre area in the North-west corner
is a delineated wetland which will remain under City ownership. Approximately 0.92 acres is zoned for
multifamily housing (20 units per acre) and could accommodate up to 18 dwelling units. (The entire 10
acre parcel was annexed as multi-family residential R-2 zoned property, at 13.5 units per acre base
density. The 0.92 acre site has a base development potential of 12 units. Utilizing a density transfer
from the parks portion of the property, or through the application of affordable housing density bonuses,
staff believes the site could accommodate 15-18 units depending upon the size and configuration.
Housing Commission Options
Option #1: Land Bank-Given current land values, in the event the property is to be sold in whole or in
part for market rate development the Commission, and ultimately the Council, may want to consider
delaying a sale until a later date when market conditions have improved in order to maximize returns.
Further, delaying a final decision on disposition may be an alternative should the Commission or
Council desire to complete a detailed analysis of housing needs prior to determining the mix of income
and unit types to be provided.
