C. Update and discussion on the future work plan for the Housing Advisory Board and
Housing Coordinator – Jennifer Bills, Housing Coordinator
Bills announced that she submitted her letter of terminations with the city her last date
to work for the city is February 8, 2017. She is moving to the City of Bastrop as the
Assistant Planning Director. Reed expressed gratitude for everything that Jennifer has
done for the city and the work she has done here. She will definitely be missed. He
stated there would be a reception honoring her work and that information would be
forthcoming to the Board. He then left the meeting.
Bills stated the work plan for the board included three tasks. The first one, to review the
Housing Tax Credit process has been accomplished. The second task of updating the
Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan has not started yet. There is $24,000 in the
current budget to upgrade the demographics of the plan. She said a consultant will be
hired to look at the inconsistencies of the demographics between different elements so
that all plans are based on the same base information, i.e. the average age of residents.
Commissioner Brennan entered the meeting. The third task is to review the feasibility of
the Housing Programs and to provide an analysis on strategies that are already in use
both nationally and within Texas. And to determine which strategies would best serve
Georgetown. $35,000 is budgeted for a consultant to provide the analysis.
