There is a strong interest in learning more about the previous affordable
housing bus tour. Committee members asked that staff bring back the map of
the bus tour and the materials generated for that event as well as a copy of the
Medford Affordable Housing Toolkit.
D. Community Resource Fair discussion
Looking at holding the event in early September. Staff will reach out to Maslow
staff, to see if we can coordinate with their back-to-school fair. Organizers
need to make a list of vendors, reach out to Kathy Kali, and add Housing
Navigation to the vendor list. Can we make the event more fun/family friendly?
Maybe adding food trucks and face painting. Bring back the results of the
comment cards for review at the next meeting. Do we need to create a
workgroup to work on planning? Can we use Pioneer Hall?
