AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE MAYOR OF DANVILLE TO SIGN AND
FORWARD A LETTER TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT IN COOPERATION WITH THE MEMBER JURISDICTIONS OF THE TRI-
VALLEY AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMITTEE FOR THE PURSUIT OF NEW STATE
LEGISLATION TO ALLOW SUB-REGIONAL EFFORTS IN THE PROVISION OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
WHEREAS, during the last several months, representatives from the five cities of the Tri-
Valley area and Alameda and Contra Costa Counties have convened to discuss
opportunities for jointly developing affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, existing State legislation precludes cooperation among neighboring
jurisdictions in the sense that each participating jurisdiction can not receive proportionate
credit toward its State-mandated "fair share" affordable housing allocation if the project
in question occurs outside its jurisdictional boundary; and
WHERF. AS, a modification to existing State legislation is needed to accommodate sub-
regional cooperative efforts in the provision of affordable housing; and
WHEREAS, the Tri-Valley Affordable Housing Committee has drafted a letter to the
director of the State Department of Housing and Community Development requesting the
necessary legislative changes to accommodate sub-regional efforts in the provision of
affordable housing.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Danville that
pursuit of legislative changes to accommodate sub-regional efforts in the provision of
affordable housing is in the Town's interest and will aid the Town in the implementation
of the goals and policies in its Housing Element; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor of the Town be hereby authorized and
directed to sign the draft letter prepared through meetings of the Tri-Valley Affordable
Housing Committee.
